Former India captain Virat Kohli paid an emotional tribute to Cheteshwar Pujara after the veteran batter announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.
Pujara made his test debut for India on October 9, 2010 against Australia.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s ability to bat for long periods and dominate the pitch has left a lasting impression on his former India teammate Rohit Sharma.
India’s Test stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara has voiced his support for KL Rahul to retain his place at the top of the order, even suggesting that Rohit Sharma could move down to No.3 to accommodate him for the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, starting December 6.
Pujara's Saurashtra teammate Jaydev Unadkat has linked up with Sussex to continue his County Championship stint from the previous season.
India's reliable number 3 in Test match cricket turns 32 today.
Pujara said his 50th first-class century will boost his confidence ahead of India's upcoming Test tour of New Zealand, where he will need to "trust" his game.
Pujara's knock off 238 balls contained 17 boundaries and a six.
With 928 points, Kohli is way ahead of second-placed Australian maestro Steve Smith (911) and New Zealand's inspirational skipper Kane Williamson (822).
